I believe that solar power is the future - though it’s LONG in the future. We have a lot of work to do on it; but our great-grandchildren may be very happy for it.
That's ok, lot of people believe nonsensical things.
By that metric so is fusion power.🤨
While I tend to agree that solar has a future I don’t believe that it will ever be anything more than a niche energy source. Solar is great for powering road signs, heating water, etc. where the real power comes from a storage device (battery) that the solar panels can recharge when they are producing. Depending on solar to power a small city or any mission-critical endeavor is foolhardy and expensive. Expensive because it takes two power sources to make the power reliable - the solar farm and the backup power generation plant.
“solar power is the future”
Solar power has great potential to give individual homes self-sufficiency—if there is no requirement to connect them to the grid.
To keep our liberties everyone is going to have to get “off the grid”.
If the plutocrats control your electricity they can control you.
I agree. I mean, there's this giant nuclear furnace in the sky putting out untold billions upon billions of watts of energy each second.
However, truly useable solar power will require massive advances in technology that just isn't there yet.
Instead, we're clearcutting acres of forests for solar farms that can barely charge a cell phone.
Let's get the tech first, and then transition.
